Buraco is a popular card game that originated in Brazil, often played by two to four players. The game uses two decks of standard playing cards and involves forming sets and runs to score points. Players aim to create melds, which are combinations of cards that meet specific criteria, while also trying to "go out" by playing all their cards. The game is similar to other card games like Rummy and Canasta, but it has its unique rules and strategies. Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, and the game emphasizes both skill and luck. Buraco is enjoyed in social settings and often played in tournaments.
